FOREWORD 
 

The Medical Council of India, aware of its responsibilities in creation of trained health manpower, has been engaged for the past few years in
updating the medical curriculum for undergraduates and postgraduates to be in consonance with the changing health needs of the country. The task
of updating and reorganization of the postgraduate curriculum in nearly 50 broad specialty disciplines to the competency pattern was accomplished
by the Academic Cell of the Council with the help of subject experts and members of its Reconciliation Board and have been uploaded on the Council
Website for use of the medical fraternity.

The Council visualized that the Indian Medical Graduate, at the end of the undergraduate training program, should be able to
recognize "health for all" as a national goal and should be able to fulfill his/her societal obligations towards the realization of this goal. To fulfill the
mandate of the undergraduate medical curriculum which is to produce a clinician, who understands and is able to provide preventive, promotive,
curative, palliative and holistic care to his patients, the curriculum must enunciate clearly the competencies the student must be imparted and must
have learnt, with clearly defined teaching-learning strategies and effective methods of assessment. The student should be trained to effectively
communicate with patients and their relatives in a manner respectful of the patient's preferences, values, beliefs, confidentiality and
privacy and to this purpose, a book on Attitude, Ethics & Communication was prepared by the Medical Council of India; the teaching faculty of
medical colleges have been receiving training on this module since 2015.

Competency based Medical Education provides an effective outcome-based strategy where various domains of teaching including teaching
learning methods and assessment form the framework of competencies. Keeping this objective as the core ingredient, the Medical Council of India
with the help of panel of experts drawn from across the country, laid the basic framework for the revised undergraduate medical curriculum. Over the
past four years, a group of highly committed medical professionals working as Members of the MCI Reconciliation Board developed this information
into a document incorporating appropriate teaching-learning strategies, tools and techniques of teaching, and modes of assessment which have
culminated in the current competency based undergraduate curriculum. We understand that maximum efforts were made to encourage integrated
teaching between traditional subject areas using a problem-based learning approach starting with clinical or community cases and exploring the
relevance of various preclinical disciplines in both the understanding and resolution of the problem. All efforts have been made to de-emphasize
compartmentalisation of disciplines so as to achieve both horizontal and vertical integration in different phases. We are proud of their work
accomplishment and congratulate them in the onerous task accomplished.

It gives us great satisfaction to state that the 'competency based undergraduate curriculum' that has been prepared by the Medical Council of
India would definitely serve the cause of medical education and in creating a competent Indian Medical Graduate to serve the community.

COMPETENCY BASED UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM
FOR
THE INDIAN MEDICAL GRADUATE

Preamble

The new Graduate Medical Education Regulations attempts to stand on the shoulder of the contributions and the efforts of resource persons, teachers and
students (past and present). It intends to take the learner to provide health care to the evolving needs of the nation and the world.

More than twenty years have passed since the existing Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 1997 was notified, necessitating a relook at all aspects
of the various components in the existing regulations and adapt them to the changing demography, socio-economic context, perceptions, values and
expectations of stakeholders. Emerging health care issues particularly in the context of emerging diseases, impact of advances in science and technology and
shorter distances on diseases and their management also need consideration. The strong and forward looking fundamentals enshrined in the Regulations on
Graduate Medical Education, 1997 has made this job easier. A comparison between the 1997 Regulations and proposed Graduate Medical Education
Regulations, 2018 will reveal that the 2018 Regulations have evolved from several key principles enshrined in the 1997 Regulations.

The thrust in the new regulations is continuation and evolution of thought in medical education making it more learner-centric, patient-centric, gender-
sensitive, outcome -oriented and environment appropriate. The result is an outcome driven curriculum which conforms to global trends. Emphasis is made
on alignment and integration of subjects both horizontally and vertically while respecting the strengths and necessity of subject-based instruction and
assessment. This has necessitated a deviation from using “broad competencies”; instead, the reports have written end of phase subject (sub) competencies.
These “sub-competencies” can be mapped to the global competencies in the Graduate Medical Education Regulations.

11 
 
A significant attempt has been made in the outcome driven undergraduate curriculum to provide the orientation and the skills necessary for life-long learning
to enable proper care of the patient. In particular, the curriculum provides for early clinical exposure, electives and longitudinal care. Skill acquisition is an
indispensable component of the learning process in medicine. The curriculum reinforces this aspect by necessitating certification of certain essential skills.
The experts and the writing group have factored in patient availability, access, consent, number of students in a class etc. in suggesting skill acquisition and
assessment methods; use of skills labs, simulated and guided environments are encouraged. In the pre-internship years,- the highest level of skill acquisition
is a show how (SH) in a simulated or guided environment; few skills require independent performance and certification - these are marked with P (for
performance). Opportunity to ‘perform’ these skills will be available during internship.

The importance of ethical values, responsiveness to the needs of the patient and acquisition of communication skills is underscored by providing dedicated
curriculum time in the form of a longitudinal program based on Attitude, Ethics and Communication (AETCOM) competencies. Great emphasis has been
placed on collaborative and inter-disciplinary teamwork, professionalism, altruism and respect in professional relationships with due sensitivity to
differences in thought, social and economic position and gender.

In addition to the above, an attempt has been made to allow students from diverse educational streams and backgrounds to transition appropriately through a
Foundation Course. Dedicated time has been allotted for self directed learning and co-curricular activities.

Formative and internal assessments have been streamlined to achieve the objectives of the curriculum. Minor tweaks to the summative assessment have been
made to reflect evolving thought and regulatory requirements. Curricular governance and support have been strengthened, increasing the involvement of
Curriculum Committee and Medical Education Departments/Units.

The curriculum document in conjunction with the new Graduate Medical Education Regulations (GMR), when notified, must be seen as a “living document”
that should evolve as stakeholder requirements and aspirations change. We hope that the current GMR does just that. The Medical Council of India is

12 
 
grateful to all the teachers, subject experts, process experts, patients, students and trainees who have contributed through invaluable inputs, intellectual
feedbacks and valuable time spent to make this possible. This document would not have been possible without the dedicated and unstinting intellectual,
mental and time-consuming efforts of the members of the Reconciliation Board of the Council and the Academic Cell of MCI.

13 
 
How to use the Manual

This Manual is intended for curriculum planners in an institution to design learning and assessment experiences for the MBBS student. Contents created by
subject experts have been curated to provide guidance for the curriculum planners, leaders and teachers in medical schools. They must be used with
reference to and in the context of the Regulations.

Section 1

Competencies for the Indian Medical Graduate

Section 1 - provides the global competencies extracted from the Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2018. The global competencies identified as
defining the roles of the Indian Medical Graduate are the broad competencies that the learner has to aspire to achieve; teachers and curriculum planners
must ensure that the learning experiences are aligned to this Manual.

Section 2
Subject-wise outcomes

Section 2 contains subject-wise outcomes so called “sub-competencies” that must be achieved at the end of instruction in that subject. These are organised in
tables and have two parts. The core subject outcomes are in first part. The second part in the same document (titled Integration) contains
outcomes/competencies in other subjects which have been identified by experts in those subjects as requiring alignment or integration with the core subject.

Outcomes (competencies) in each subject are grouped according to topics number-wise. It is important to review the individual outcomes (competencies) in
the light of the topic outcomes as a whole. For each competency outlined - the learning domains (Knowledge, Skill, Attitude, Communication) are identified.
The expected level of achievement in that subject is identified as – [knows (K), knows how (KH), shows how (SH), perform (P)]. As a rule, ‘perform’
indicates independent performance without supervision and is required rarely in the pre-internship period. The outcome is a core (Y - must achieve) or a
non-core (N - desirable) outcome. Suggested learning and assessment methods (these are suggestions) and explanation of the terms used are given under the
section “definitions used in this document”. The suggested number of times a skill must be performed independently for certification in the learner’s log
book is also given. Last two columns indicate subjects within the same phase and other phases with which the topic can be taught - together - aligned
(temporal coordination), shared, correlated or nested.

The number of topics and competencies in each subject are given below:

Section 3
Sample topics used for alignment & integration

Section 3 contains a sample selection of topics that run across the phases which can be used for alignment and integration. These are suggestions and
institutions can select their own set of topics which can run across phases.

It is important to design the curriculum with a view to ensure with several broad outcomes in mind: a) achievement of the broad competencies by the learner
at the end of the MBBS program, b) retain the subject - wise character of learning and assessment and ensure that phase-wise subject outcomes are met and
assessed, c) teaching topics that are similar together thereby reducing redundancy and allowing the learner to integrate the concept as the most important
step in integration (alignment or temporal coordination) (see document on integration), and d) align learning and assessment experiences to the outcome and
the level of achievement specified.

The concept of integration
Concept of integration used in the Manual
Integration is a learning experience that allows the learner to perceive relationships from blocks of knowledge and develop a unified view of its basis and its
application. The GMR 2018 applies these principles to the extent that will retain the strengths of silo - based education and assessment while providing
experiences that will allow learners to integrate concepts.

Keeping this in mind, the Regulations recommend temporal coordination as described by Harden (called alignment in this document) as the major method to be
followed allowing similar topics in different subjects to be thought separately but during the same time frame (Figure 1a ).

In a small proportion - not to exceed 20% of the total curriculum an attempt can be made to Share (Figure 1b) topics or Correlate (Figure 1c) topics by using an
integration session. The integration session most preferred will be a case based discussion in an appropriate format ensuring that elements in the same phase
(horizontal) and from other phases are addressed. Care must be taken to ensure that achievement phase - based objectives are given primacy - the integrative
elements from other phases are used only to provide adequate recall and understand the clinical application of concepts. It must be emphasized that integration
does not necessarily require multiple teachers in each class. Experts from each phase and subject may be involved in the lesson planning but not it in its delivery
unless deemed necessary.

As much as possible the necessary correlates from other phases must also be introduced while discussing a topic in a given subject - Nesting (Figure 1d)
(Harden). Topics that cannot be aligned and integrated must be provided adequate time in the curriculum throughout the year.

Assessment will continue to be subject based. However, efforts must be made to ensure that phase appropriate correlates are tested to determine if the learner has
internalized and integrated the concept and its application.

Note:
In the table of competency - the highest level of competency acquired is specified and implies that the lower levels have been acquired already. Therefore,
when a student is able to SH - Show how - an informed consent is obtained - it is presumed that the preceding steps - the knowledge, the analytical skills, the
skill of communicating have all been obtained.

It may also be noted that attainment of the highest level of competency may be obtained through steps spread over several subjects or phases and not
necessarily in the subject or the phase in which the competency has been identified.
